SAFETY Safety Training ATV safety training is a top priority for Polaris. When you purchased your new ATV, your dealer instructed you on the authorized ATV RiderCoursesm available to you and your eligible family members. This training is included in the purchase price of your ATV. Polaris strongly encourages you and your eligible family members who will be riding the ATV to take the ATV RiderCoursesm. You were also provided with printed materials that explain safe operating procedures. You should review this information on a regular basis. If you purchased a used Polaris ATV, you can take the ATV RiderCoursesm by calling ATV Enrollment Express at (800) 887-2887 or by visiting www.atvsafety.org. Purchasers of a used Polaris ATV will be charged for this training. A Polaris ATV is an off-road vehicle. Familiarize yourself with all laws and regulations concerning the operation of the ATV in your area.
